And just like that...fake "statue outrage" disappeared

Who'da thunk it?

:rofl2:

Considering that the statue protesters won the war, why should they keep on talking about it?

Most cities that had Confederate statues in prominent places like city parks and in front of govt buildings have removed them.

Here where I live, they took down the old "Johnny Reb" statue that had been put up by the Daughters of the Confederacy and stood at the entrance to the city's centerpiece downtown park for over 100 years. They simply moved it a mile or so away to an old cemetary that has a Civil War memorial section and put it back up there. Anyone who wants to can go visit it and pay homage or whatever. Those who don't wish to see it can stay away.

Everyone's happy.

Those statues are as inappropriate on govt buildings and in city parks as religious statues and icons or the Ten Commandments on the walls of courthouses.

I guess you didn't even realize your side lost.

There was a war going on? Civil war or a " if I scream loud enough and trash some neighborhoods, I will get my way" war? Reminds me of what brats do. They stomp and scream and throw fits until they get their way.

It's a good job you have a president in the Whitehouse setting such a good example, to the citizenry of your great country, about how to conduct oneself magnanimously whilst also displaying an admirable degree of humility.

Public protest of grievances is as old as America itself and a part of our history.

People like you who bitch and complain about it are unAmerican.
 
Nazi speech is in a class by itself.

Speech that encourages violence is not protected by the 1st, no matter how badly you wish it was, little Hitler.
no it's not.. any speech that encourages an imminent threat of violence is not protected speech

The way it's working is local politicians don't want to deal with Antifa thugs in their town, so they go ahead and cave into the demand to remove the statues.

That isn't what Jefferson had in mind in terms of democracy.

of course..profiles in chickenhearted behavior..

why did Baltimore remove the statues in the dead of night with only a quick vote the day before?
Because they are terrified of more Baltimore riots..There is no nobility of purpose there

Nazi speech is generally considered to be the worst of the worst.

Hence, it's "in a class by itself".

I wasn't talking about legality with regards to Nazi speech per se.

I don't think that is what's happening.

I think politicians are starting to grasp the new reality in which normal people are no longer willing to tolerate bigotry or symbols of past bigotry and are responding the way politicians have always responded to popular movements. They jump on board with both feet.
